OUR YOUNG FOLKS.

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING DAY, A. D. 1922.
.'And now" said the Governor, gazing abroad
on the piled up store
VI the sheayes that dotted the elearings and
covered the meadows DER,
"'Tis meet that we render praises beesuse NJ
this yield of grain;
lis meet that the Lord of the harvest be
thanked for his sun and rain
''And therefore, I, William Bradford, Cby the
And the franchise of this good people). Governor
OF Plymouth, say .
lhro virtue of vested power-ye shall gather
with one accord
And hold in the month of November thanks
giving with the Lord.
g He hath granted us peace and plenty. and the
quiet we have sought so long;
He hath thwarted the willy savage and kent
him from doing US wrong:
And unto our Feast the Sachem shall be hidden
We worship his own Great Spirit who maketh
the harvest grow.
So shoulder your matehloeks, masters there
is hunting of all degree
And fishermen, take your tackle, and scour for
spoils the seas
And maidens and danes of Plymouth your
delicate crafts employ,
TIE honor our First Thanksgiving and make it a
Feast of joy
eve fail of the fruits and dainties so close at
our hand in Devon:
All they are the lightest losses we suffer for
sake of Heaven
But see, in our open clearings how golden the
melons lie;
Enrich them with sweets and spices, and give us
the Pumpkin-Pier'
So bravely the preparations went on for the Au-
tumn Feast,
The deer and bear were slaughtered; wild game
from the greatest to least
Was heaped in tho Colony cabins; brown home
brewed served for wine.
And the pluIl and the crane of the forest for
orange and peach and pine.
AT length came the day appointed; the snow
had begun to fall,
But the clang from the Westinghouse belfry
rang merrily out for ALL
And summoned the folk of Plymouth who
hastened with glad accord
To listen to Elder Brewster as he feryently
thanked the Lord.
In his seat safe Governor Bradford men, ma
irons, and maidens fair:
Miles Standish and all his soldiers with corse-
let and sword were there:
And sobblng and tears and gladness had each in
its turn the sway,
For the grave of the sweet Rose standish DER
Swallowed Thanksgiving Day.
And when Massasoit the Sachem, safe down
with his hundred braves,
And ate of the varied riches of gardens, and
woods and waves,
And looked on the granaried harvest-with
blow on his brawny chest,
He muttered, 1.-THE good Great Spirit loves His
white childIen best r'
And then, as the feast was ended, with gravely
official air,
The Governor drew his broadsword out from its
scabbard there,
And shifting the trencher near him, he cried in
heroic way,
"Hail Pie OF the Pumpkin 1 dub thee Prince
Of Thanksgiving Day.

Once there was king who had a little
boy whom he loved. He gave him beauti-
full rooms to live in, and pictures and toys
and books, He gave him pony to ride,
and row-boat on lake, and servants
He provided teachers who were to give
him knowledge that would make him
good and great, But, for all this, the
young prince was not happy. He always
wore frown, and was ever wishing for
something he did not have.
At length, one day magician came to
Court. He saw the boy, and said to the
king: / can make your son happy. But
you must pay me great price for telling
the secret" WELL" said the king,
"what you ask l shall give" So the
price was paid. Then the magician took
the boy into a private room. He wrote
something with white substance on q
piece of paper. Next he gave the boy a
candle, and told him to light it and hold
it under the paper, and then see what he
could read. Then he went away. The
boy did as he had been told, and white
letters on the paper turned into beautiful
blue. They formed these words: "Do q
kindness to some one every day" The
prince made use of the secret, and became
the happiest boy in the kingdom.

That this is the result Of merit, and
that Brandreth's Pills perform all that

An exchange says: The best mode of
preserving eggs is to use eggs from hens
that are not in company with cocks, as
such eggs will keep three or four times as
long as those that are fertile. Keep the
eggs in cool place on a rack, and turn
them twice week. If fresh, no packing
material will be necessary.
Sheep not only manure the land upon
which they may be hurdled or pastured,
but they distribute it evenly, and press it
into the soil. There is an old maxim that
" the foot of the sheep is gold to the
farmer"
Lice on fowls will cause them to droop.
The poultry-house must be cleaned, coal
oil applied freely, and the hens well busted
with insect powder.

MARRYING BY BANs.-The North Amer
ican Reriew, published in Philadelphia,
says: 1t has always been the laudable
practice of the Roman Catholic Church to
surround the marriage relation with vari-
Gus safeguards, and in deciding upon the
strict enforcement of the salutary rule
which requires the publication Of bans,
Archbishop Ryan is at once following a
long established custom and doing the
community substantial service. The
more publicity is thrown upon the con-
tracing of matrimony the better, and
there is no more efectual way of securing
publicity than the reading of marriage
bans in church according to the ancient
custom. In theory bans have always been
required under the Roman Catholic rule,
but here in Philadelphia, and probably in
other places, practice had grown up of
allowing dispensations at so much apiece
with unwise facility The Archbishop
does well to draw the line with great de-
gree of strictness.

A Pupil of List.

Some years ago, it is related, n young
pianist was about to give concert in one
of the European capitals. Although she
had never seen the great Hungarian COM
poser, she was tempted to insert in the
programmes she sent out the alluring no.
tice "pupil of Liszt," deeming herself per-
fectly safe from detection, as the musician
was far away.
Just before the day of the concert she
took up newspaper, and to her horror,
among the names of the arrivals at GER
tain hotel in the city she read that of 'the
Able List" What was she to do? To
confess her fraud openly at the outset OF
her musical career would be to crush it at
once A straightforward plan suggested
itself. Acting upon it she went to the
hotel, asked to see the Able, and threw
herself on his mercy.
List asked her few questions, and then
requested her to play one of the pieces
she intended to perform at the concert.
While she did so he stood over her, sug-
costing a pause here or correcting a
forte there.
At the conclusion of the piece List
said, Now, Mademsoiselle, you can truth
fully say that you are pupil of List, for
you have had your first lesson. You may
also put on your programmes that you will
be assisted by your master, who will play
two pieces at your concert" List kept
his promise, and by his disinterested kind.

GENERAL NOTES.

The greatest drawback to dairying, says
an Eastern writer, is that the dairymen
buy their cows and do not raise them.
Under such system there can be very
little improvement, while the average yield
of milk cannot be increased. Under the
system now practiced two COWS are kept
where one would suffice if she were of an
improved breed. Yet the opportunities
for improvement are within the reach OF
all, as a single male viii change the
characteristics of an entire herd in a few
years.
1t is often remarked that too much ma.
nure viii produce plenty of vine and but
little fruit. This is due to the manure be-
ing improperly proportional. An exces;

MONEY IN APPLES
CALIFORNIA LEMONS.

A writer, who explains the cause of the
poor quality of California lemons, says the
fault lies with the orchardist. A lemon
ripened on the trees is valueless, and is
think-skinned and of too great size. II
you are a connoisseur in such matters, YOU
will note that imported lemons do not rot
easily, are thin-skinned, juicy and of uni
form size. In Sicily the lemon is picked
when perfectly green and placed in boxes
Of dry sand, where it remains four or five
months to ripen; then it is sorted and
stripped. Probably if the California
lemons were ripened in this way the COM
plants that they are bitter would CEASE
Erckdnge.
